It’s fun and frivolous in equal amounts, but there’s nothing fantastic in here. Bad Newz isn’t that bad, but it surely struggles to deliver the perfect rom-com that you expect from its premise. A spiritual sequel (whatever that means) to the hilarious Good Newwz, this latest outing starring Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk is rather bizarre predictable and somewhat chaotic.
Bad Newz is directed by Anand Tiwari, whose debut movie as a director was the Netflix movie Love per Square Foot. The movie features Vicky Kaushal in the lead role along with Angira Dhar, whom Tiwari later married.
Anand is more prominently known for directing web series like Bang Baaja Baarat and Bandish Bandits. Anand was last seen as an actor in Amazon Prime Video’s Ae Watan Mere Watan.
If the trailer is anything to go by, it gives away the whole damn plot, and barely keeps anything under wraps for curiosity to build up. Even the film’s Wikipedia page didn’t care much and explains the storyline a bit too much in detail for audiences to wonder what more could happen. Directed by Anand Tiwari, Bad Newz is a well-intentioned film, it wants to make you laugh, but most of the times, the jokes don’t land and all we get it run-of-the-mill comedy that works in parts but isn’t outright funny.
